What children learn in Level 62
- Some rulers cut each inch into 4 equal parts: fourths, or quarters. The shortest marks show fourths of an inch.
- Two fourths is the same as one half, so the half inch mark is also 2/4.
- This pencil passes 2 inches and goes 3 short marks more. It's 2¾ inches long.
- 2¾ inches is 11 fourths of an inch: 8 fourths in 2 inches, and 3 more.
Georgia's K-12 Mathematics Standards:
- 3.MDR.5.4 — Use rulers to measure lengths in halves and fourths (quarters) of an inch and a whole inch.
